Bug description:
  I have an ä (LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS) in my name, so it is the GECOS-field on savannah.gnu.org,
  UTF-8 decoded.
  When I tried to commit to bzr+ssh://jhd@bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-23 (bound branch), I get an error back that says
    Unable to determine your name. Please use "bzr whoami" to set it (se log below).

  I have used bzr whoami so the message is at least incorrect.  Changing my name in savannah so that ä isn't in the GECOS-filed fixes the problem. 
  Log follows:
